ICD-10 Files
• Tabular and index of ICD-10-CM
• Addenda (Changes since the 2012 version)• Complete list of ICD-10-CM code titles – long and
abbreviated
• General Equivalence Mappings
• Reimbursement Mappings
• Duplicate ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes
http://cms.hhs.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/2013-ICD-10-PCS-GEMs.html
Will the Industry be Ready?
• Industry surveys show that Home Health providers are behind the curve
• Claims with ICD-10 cannot be sent until 10/1/2014 and Medicare is only doing internal testing

One of the Last Puzzle Pieces…
OASIS C-1
• Comments were due in August
• Final Rule still needs to be published
• In addition to ICD-10 support several items will be eliminated

Cost of ICD-10 Implementation
One-Time Costs
• Trainingo Coderso Clinicianso Billerso Administration
• Software and technology updateso Billing and clinical systemso Physician portal/intake systemso Clearinghouse applications
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013

Cost of ICD-10 Implementation
Other One-Time Costs
• New forms/ documentation systems
• Productivity loss during the learning curveo Internalo External – working with partners
• Workflow changes
• Financing costs for cash flow needso Get a line of credit approved nowo Have six months of money in the bank
Cost of ICD-10 Implementation
Ongoing Costs
• Productivity losso It is predicted that an initial 54% decrease in
productivity will occur and will slowly decrease over the first 6 months
o A 20% decrease in productivity is what is to be expected to be ongoing
• Follow up training needso Continuing Education
• Coding Outsourcing costs

ICD-10 Budget Considerations
Expenses
• Personnelo Staffing for lost productivity
� Overtime� Additional staff� Replacement costs during training
Training
• Training expenses• Travel expenses• Consultant fees
Coding Outsourcing
Importance of Documentation
CMS Requirements - CoPs
• Homebound status• Medically reasonable and necessary• Intermittent skilled care• Coordination of care
Reimbursement Support
• Support coding• ADRs• Denials
Legal Considerations

Importance of Documentation
CMS recently published “established recordkeeping principles” to provide further guidance regarding the timeliness of entries in medical records.
These principles apply to all Medicare contractors that review medical records.
Importance of Documentation
Any medical record that contain amendments, corrections or addenda must:
1. Clearly and permanently identify any amendment, correction or delayed entry as such, and
2. Clearly indicate the date and author of any amendment, correction or delayed entry, and
3. Not delete, but instead, clearly identify all original content.
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013
8
Importance of Documentation
Medicare contractors cannot consider entries in medical records that do not comply with these established recordkeeping principles; for example, we must disregard undated or unsigned entries handwritten in the margins of a document.
Consequences
• Compliance issues
• Payment issueso Upcodingo Downcoding
• Medical Review Issueso Lack of narrative
• Care Issue
• Survey Sanctions

ICD-10 Documentation
ICD-10 is much more specific.
Very detailed information will be required by:
• Home Health clinicians• Referral sources• Hospitals• Physicians
ICD-10 Documentation
• ICD-10 transition team should include a documentation specialist.
• Perform a gap analysis on all clinicians.
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013
10
ICD-10 Gap Analysis
Your gap analysis should assess your employees’ knowledge of:
• Anatomy
• Physiology
• Pathophysiology
• Pharmacology
• Medical Terminology
Clinician Training
• Six months prior to implementation date
• Canada’s experience for clinical training
o 30 hours training plus 8 hours knowledge gap training
• Initial assessment/audits
• E-learning/webinars
• Practice tools
• Discussion forums
• Classroom education
• Live events
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013

Documentation Training
• Get to know your top 25 diagnoses in your agency.
• Learn the documentation requirements of these diagnoses first.
Common Diagnoses
• Ulcers
• Diabetes Mellitus
• Fractures
• Osteoporosis
• Myocardial Infarction
• CVA
• Hypertension
• Heart Failure
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013

o Exposed fat layer
o Skin breakdown only
• Laterality
o Left
o Right
o Bilateral
Diabetes Mellitus
Five Categories of Diabetes Mellitus
• Due to underlying condition
• Due to chemical induced
• Type 1 Diabetes
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Other specified diabetes
Many are combination codes with specific manifestation information.
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013
13
Fractures
• Laterality
• Displaced
• Non-displaced
• Closed
• Open
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis Due to:
• Age-related with/without current fracture

• Lequesne
• Localized
• Post-menopausal with/without current fracture
• Senile
• Specified type with/without fracture
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013
14
Myocardial Infarction
• Clinical documentation
o ST elevation anterior wall
o Left main coronary artery
o Left anterior descending coronary artery
o Other coronary artery of anterior wall
o ST myocardial infarction of inferior wall
o ST myocardial infarction of left circumflex coronary artery
• Length of time (4 weeks or less)
• History of tobacco use
Hypertension
• Unspecified, benign and malignant are all the same code
• Tobacco use, history, exposure, dependence will need to be coded as an additional code
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013
15
Cerebral Infarction
Should the affected side be documented, but not the specified dominant or non-dominant and the classification system does no indicate a default, code selection as follows:
• For ambidextrous patients, the default should be dominant.
• If the left side is affected, the default is non dominant.
• If the right side is affected, the default is dominant.
Heart Failure
CHF is a non-specified code in ICD-10:
• Specify systolic, diastolic or combined
• Specify acute or chronic
HEALTHCAREfirst® 11/21/2013
16
Foot Ulcer
A 75-year-old woman is admitted to home care after developing an ulcer on the plantar surface of her left foot. The fat layer is exposed. This condition is a residual problem occurring after a stroke and due to a loss of sensation.
Skilled nursing services are ordered to care for the wound and teach patient self-care.
CVA and Hypertension
The patient was discharged from the hospital after an acute CVA resulting in right-sided spastic hemiplegia (right dominant). He also has HTN and diabetes.
He will receive nursing services as well as PT and OT.
